Coe family of Guilford Co. NC

I'm very grateful to Carl Robert Coe <ccoe2@columbus.rr.com> for information on this family. Please see his books for details of the early ancestors: The Coe Families of Maryland and Virginia by Carl Robert Coe, two volumes.

The immigrant ancestor was Timothy Coe, who immigrated from England to Virginia in 1652, age 21.

John Coe, born in 1744 in Worcester Co. MD, married Sarah Holton and came to North Carolina in 1784. They settled in Pleasant Garden, in Guilford County, where he died in 1807.

Their son John Coe, who was born in 1779, became a prominent Methodist minister, and was the founding paster of Mt. Moriah Methodist Church in Guilford County. He was married twice, first to Hannah Mclean who died about 1804, and second to Dorcas Pearson (1787-1861).
